CCM Compact Microphones

CCM 41V Compact Microphone

– supercardioid with especially consistent directionality

throughout its frequency range

– “vertical” (side-addressed) supercardioid capsule

– for a very wide range of recording applications

– high directivity, comparable to that of a short “shot-

gun“ microphone up through midrange frequencies

– often preferred for use in music and speech record-

ing, as a spot microphone and also as a main micro-

phone, especially when using the OCT recording

method

Technical specifications: pages 54 and 132

CCM 8 Compact Microphone

– pure pressure-gradient transducer

– figure-8 pattern with near-ideal consistency across

the frequency range

– side-addressed (pickup perpendicular to the micro-

phone body)

– optimal for use in M/S and Blumlein stereo recording

CCM 5 Compact Microphone

– omni and cardioid patterns, mechanically switchable

– slight emphasis of the high frequencies

– broad range of applications

– preferred uses similar to those of the MK 2 or MK 2S

and the MK 4:

In the cardioid setting: for use with singing or speak -

ing voices or most instruments, as a spot micro phone,

and for stereo recording with coincident, ORTF or M/S

microphone arrangements.

In the omnidirectional setting: for recording instru-

ments, singers, etc. at relatively close range

switchable
